It's Chinese New Year (CNY) a couple of weeks ago, and us Chinese know how to celebrate -- eat, feast, and repeat. Of course, there are many regional Chinese New Year traditions throughout China, and being from HK, the HK tradition is what I'm most familiar with. On New Year's Eve I was invited to a feast with food expert Lee Man, and it just heightened my appreciation for my culture. Calling it a feast, obviously it was a multi-course dinner with an abundance of food. We are all about good meanings when it comes to choosing the dishes or even naming them for CNY. On Instagram I showed a glimpse of what that means with the CNY dinner made by Mama Lam this year. It's being realized here once again at Golden Paramount in Richmond.
0755 Restaurant & Lounge – Don’t Judge a Restaurant by its Cover
Imagine you arrived at a restaurant where the exterior was all wrapped up so you couldn't see the inside, and all you could see was the LED marquee sign by the door. Then, as you were led into the restaurant the interior décor made you feel like you entered a night club, and you started thinking to yourself, what the heck did I get myself into?! That's kind of how I felt when I went to 0755 Restaurant and Lounge in Richmond. And then we were all pleasantly surprised.

Golden Eats Seafood Restaurant 佳坊海鮮食館
The ChineseBites crew planned a dinner at Golden Eats on Kingsway near Victoria. For some reason I thought the restaurant has been around for ages and I just never went; turns out it's only been open for about two years.
Chang’An Restaurant 品味長安 – Chinese Fine Dining in Downtown Vancouver
Our friends at ChineseBites invited me to a Chinese fine dining experience at Chang'An Restaurant. It's located right under the Granville Bridge, where Nu and Stonegrill used to be, with the gorgeous view of the False Creek. It turned out to be an elaborate 17-course dinner. Hold the drool! This is going to be a long and delicious post!
